Description
Hi everyone! I'm Jared from Tampa, Florida!
Currently volunteering with dog shelter just outside of Lviv, Ukraine until late May/early June. My approach to travel is all about the people and community. The most meaningful experiences come from building connections and contributing to a community, rather than just seeing some sites. I've done WorkAway in the past and had a rewarding experience from it!
I have a lifelong interest in animal care, growing up in an animal fostering family to current volunteer work. My primary strength lies in my ability to work with and lead groups. I’ve spent years in many different areas of management, be it industrial, auditing, or customer-focused.
I’m a curious and enthusiastic person who genuinely enjoys learning from others. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Jared :)

The volunteer before me was having issues with a flight back home, so I agree to come a couple days earlier. I came to the hostel exhausted from being on the road. They let me get settled in and then another… read more
Very kind and friendly people! Had the pleasure of speaking to Arthur. He wanted to learn a bit of my background, and gave a detailed description of the tasks needed to be completed.
I would choose them again if I come back to the area,… read more
